I’m sorry, but my perspective is that a child who goes that far over the line needs to be punished and made an example. Then again, I’m not in a mood to be kind toward any variety of child pornographer.
And in this case, as I said, I see the expulsion as freeing her from their clutches.
Fine, let her be expelled to be free of those jackoffs, but put him in jail for creating and distributing child pornography.
Oh wait, our system is too screwed up for that.
Dang it, I was coming in to make the joke.
I feel like “ai generated” music when it’s not lyrical isn’t such an awful thing - ambient sound and the like. I mean, music may not be mathematically solved yet, but we’ve certainly had music-generation algorithms for decades, and there’s no real harm in that. There’s a time and a place for a human to create art, and times for artificially created pleasant sound.
Did they cave? Of course they did. Vote them out if they caved.
Gee, I almost hope he’s right - but I’m truly afraid of the horrors we’ll unleash in the meantime and after.
The midterms happen next fall - and hopefully any new Dems elected vote to keep things closed.
Not a huge fan, but I find her ballooning bank account compared to her salary to be the most damning thing about her.
That’s at least 1 more home than he needs to live, and even $1m counts as megawealth compared to the national average.
Someone with a net worth at or below US average (~$200,000.00), who actually remembers trying to make ends meet on minimum wage, who owns no more than one home (preferably someone who rents). Oh, and preferably someone whose earnings mostly come from either a full-time W2 job or gig income (Uber, Lyft, etc.), not book sales or capital investment.
If China is pressuring someone, that’s a person whose works should be shown across America.
When there’s actual enforcement, like seizing the money or using any kind of force, it matters. Until then,
“Old man yells at cloud”.
Right now, the only way the Democrats have a chance at the midterms (assuming they aren’t overrun by some manufactured emergency to keep Trump and whoever he likes that day in office for life), is if they do keep the shutdown going until there’s a Democrat president in office.
The problem with that of course is that it means the “small-government” Republicans and the Libertarians get exactly what they want.
Oh good. Bernie is considered a “progressive” now? A millionaire with multiple houses, who’s taken in no homeless people with his megawealth, has only ever donated proceeds from books he had ghostwritten when put under duress is a leading progressive?
We need to start electing real people.
When I can access it, I’ll be happy.
Now let’s see them actually bring down the cult that runs it. Granted, that’d bring down the cult running the government, too - but I don’t see a problem with that.
Is that why cell phone connections have been so weak lately?
He’s not entirely wrong. But his father was a literal Nazi, and he’s never done anything to push back against that.
Okay, but he didn’t need to make a whole video just to pitch his own detergent powder.
My experience has been that once CSAM gets into a guy’s head, at any age, it never leaves. That’s what needs to be stopped.
